Solution:
So, (A ∩ B) ={ 12,42}
Inclusive events We get the following probabilities:
- Are events that can occur at the same time. Pr(A)= 8/50
These are events with sample point/s or
outcome/s in common. If A and B are events in Pr(B)=5/50
the sample S, and A ∩ Bis not an empty set.
Pr (A ∩ B)=2/50
Mutually exclusive event – Independent
Hence, Pr A ∪ B = Pr A + Pr B − Pr(A ∩ B)
Inclusive event - Dependent
Pr (A ∩ B)=8/50 + 8/50 -2/50 =11/50
Formula: Pr (A ∪ B)= Pr (A) + Pr (B)− Pr(A ∩ B)
The probability of inclusive events can be
1.A fair of die rolled. What is the probability of extended up to three events.
getting an odd number or a factor of 6?
3. A card is drawn at random from a standard
Solution: Let A = (odd number on a die) and B= deck of cards. Find the probability of the
(factor of 6). Thus, we have the following simple following:
outcomes in each event.
a.A black card or a king
A = (1, 3, 5) and B = (1, 2, 3, 6)
b.A queen or diamond
Outcome: Pr(A)=3/6=1/2 and Pr(B)=4/6=2/3
c.A jack or a club
